Hello, I need to input the bending stress from a database I am not sure what name it is, would it be yield strength or tensile strength? thanks

A stress is not a strength.
Please post full details of the problem.

Hello,

I am using the engineers theory of bending M/I = E/R =o/y

I have M = bending moment 11.408 Nm
I = unknown
E= 6828*10^10 pascals
R=unknown
o=in materials database
y=perpendicular distance of a point in the beam from its neutral axis, the beam is .124m long with a vertical load from the centre so I think this value is 0.062m

So I was planning to use R=o/YR to find R

then with R I can use I=E/MR

So I believe I have all the given values I am told the bending stress is in the database that's where I am to find it, I have a list youngs modulus specific stiffness yield strength tensile strength specific strength and other values,

So I'm stuck on what the name of bending stress is meant to be in the database to continue working values out.
 
Sounds like you want the maximum bending stress the material can withstand. If the component is under tension then this would be the same as the tensile strength.
